The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A fast-paced space adventure where you pilot a star destroyer through a vibrant open world, trading, fighting pirates, and discovering anomalies.

What players say

Players praise the Freelancer-like freedom of trading, combat, and exploration, but warn of a slow grind early on and repetitive procedurally generated missions later. Opinions split on the broadside ship combat and a punishing difficulty curve where enemies scale quickly.
